This mother seems happy taking her child to school. Look more closely, and you will not believe what you see.

A mother holds her daughter’s hand while taking her to school. She can’t stop thinking about all the things she has to do: shop for groceries, clean the house, cook. She’s fed up with all these tasks. She can’t wait for the day when her daughter is old enough to go to school all by herself.
